Does Amiur have any effect on the blood sugar levels?
Although it is not very common, but Amiur may increase your blood sugar levels. Therefore, it is important that you keep a regular check on your blood sugar levels if you are a diabetic. The use of Amiur should be avoided in patients who have type 2 diabetes along with some kidney problem in which the patient loses protein (albumin) in very small quantities in urine.

How long does Amiur take to work?
Amiur controls high blood pressure but does not cure it. You may not see any improvement because high blood pressure does not have any symptoms. But, if you get your blood pressure checked, you may notice a change within 2 weeks of starting Amiur. However, the medicine may take 4 weeks or longer to show its maximum benefits.

What does Amiur do? Is it a beta blocker or a diuretic?
Amiur is a potassium-sparing diuretic. It is prescribed with other medicines to control increased blood pressure and to treat heart failure in patients who have had a heart attack. It is not a beta blocker but mineralocorticoid receptor blocker.
